EOQ- is there a misprint in the revision Kit?

NNewAccountantinTown11y ago
Dear Sir, I would be grateful if you helped clarify the answer for the following task. It is from BPP revision kit and I do not understand why they list the correct answer as D when, to my knowledge it is clearly B. Thank you! Unit cost or raw material: $20 Usage per week: 250 units Cost of ordering material, per order $400 Annual cost of holding inventory, as a % of cost 10% Number of weeks in a year 48 What is EOQ to the nearest unit? Answers: A 316 units B 693 units C 1.549 units D 2,191 units

The answer is D.here, ordering cost=400,D=12000(48*250),ch=2(10%of material cost).

Farzana: Please do not answer in this forum - it is Ask the Tutor, and you are not the tutor :-) NewAccountantInTown: Farzana is correct, and D is the correct answer. (I think what you did is take 250 x 48 as being 1,200, when it is actually 12,000)
